"Graphic memory needed." Can this be downloaded or do I have to buy it?

Question

I've installed a game that required me to download/upgrade my DirectX9 in order to install game. After the download the game started but now the game says---"Graphic memory needed 185M". I have 119M, where can I get more graphic memory. (I thought it would be on the DirectX download.)

Answer 1

it depends on what you are running. If this is a laptop you are out of luck unless you can set the UMA setting in the BIOS to 512meg or 1gig. If this is a desktop then you need a new graphics card. Scroll to the bottom of the link and find out what slot you have, then find out how many watts your PSU is, then shop for a card...

Answer 2

you can not just 'download' more graphics memory this is a physical thing on your graphics card or mother board you will have to upgrade your graphics card to get more memory

Answer 3

i'm with Zac...you need to buy a graphic memory card.
